Retired Mod

1 Yes 2 Yes 28E 19E 13E and 30w is where most of the action is. Depending on your location in England, a minidish will give you a good taste of what's going on. As for channels - go to www.lyngsat.com and check the channels against those satellites. Also have a good read though the rest of this section and come back with any questions.

Another question: As the skystar 2 doesnt have a cam slot like the ss1... is there a way to use cams that is compatible with progdvb or whatever the popular software is now? ...maybe a usb interface like the 'Duolabs Cas Interface Plus MK2' - £39 - Am I barking up the right tree?

Dishes only really come in two types, working or not. The signal is still only high frequency RF when the dish sees it, the reciever does the clever bit and strips the information from the signal. So his dish won't care

There are 'add on units' available which can plug in to some PCI cards for use with a cam and sub card.

1. Can anyone tell me how to position the dish and what is the difference when I have 2 LNBs? What does 28E mean physically? Am i correct to say that only 1 transponder can be connected via 1 LNB, and so what happens if I want to swtich transponders? Do I have to rotate the dish manually?

2. I have heard that you can decrypt encrypted channels using software like s2emu and softcam. What is the risk of using this function?

3. What if I am not allowed to set the dish outside due landlord restriction. Is there another way to get the signals?

Sorry for these newb questions, just want to sort all these out once and for all. Please help out!
